BuyMyTronics Pays for Used-up Gadgetry

There is only one thing that’s better than keeping e-waste out of landfills and that’s getting paid to do it.

It may be hard to believe, but that is exactly what you get with BuyMyTronics - a company that pays you hard cash for new, used and even broken gadgets. How much cash? That depends on what you turn in and its condition. For instance, a partially operable iPhone could net you as much as $225.

Though cell phones account for the bulk of the business, BuyMyTronics accepts used iPods, Zunes and Game Consoles. The company makes a profit by using the working components to fix other electronics. Meanwhile, payments for submitted gadgets are processed within 48 hours.

Adding even more green to the mix, BuyMyTronics has just announced that the entire company is now 100% wind-powered. Thus with less e-waste in the ground, less megawatts from the grid , and more cash in the pockets, this one is a definite win-win.
